| (KUNA) -- Suspected insurgents Friday killed four people and injured one in the North Cachar Hills district of Assam, a state in Northeast India. All the five -- woodcutters -- were abducted Thursday by the suspected insurgents of the 'Jewel Gorlosa' faction of the rebel group Dima Halam Daoga (DHD), news agency Indo Asian News Service reported today, quoting an official of Assam Police. Four dead bodies were recovered today near village Lalangsu in the North Cachar Hills district, the official said. The reason for the killings was not immediately known, he added. The 'Jewel Gorlosa' faction of the DHD is fighting for an "independent homeland" for the Dimasa tribe carved out of Assam. Another faction of the DHD is presently observing a ceasefire with the Indian government. |
